uscg point batan wpb 82340

USCG Point Batan (WPB-82340) was an 82-foot Point-class cutter commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1967. Designed for law enforcement, search and rescue, and patrol duties, Point Batan served primarily along the U.S. East Coast. The cutter was known for its robust performance and reliability, participating in numerous rescue operations and maritime law enforcement missions during its years of active service. After decades of service, Point Batan was eventually decommissioned as newer vessels replaced the aging Point-class cutters in the Coast Guard fleet.
